Write down your immediate thoughts when you hear the word assessment
Assessment
“Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering, analysing and reflecting on evidence to make informed and consistent judgements to improve future student learning.”
http://www.education.vic.gov.au/studentlearning/assessment/
Assessment definition
At classroom level (student, teacher and parent)• Provide appropriate learning opportunities• Feedback for future learning• Develop partnerships Modify teaching
At system level (leadership team and system) Evaluate, provide quality assurance & certify To report to Government
Why do we gather and interpret evidence of learning?
Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering, analysing and reflecting on evidence to make informed and consistent judgements to improve future student learning.Assessment has multiple purposes:
•Assessment for learning (formative)•Assessment as learning (formative)•Assessment of learning (summative)
http://www.education.vic.gov.au/studentlearning/assessment/
Assessment Advice
Recent international research on assessment points to substantial gains in student achievement that can be affected through the use of formative assessment in the classroom.
“Formative assessment promotes the goals of life long learning, including raising levels of student achievement, greater equity of
student outcomes, and improved learning to learn skills”
OECD (2005) Formative Assessment Improving Learning in Secondary Classrooms, Paris, France: OECD Publishing
Assessment for learning (formative)
research
Assessment for learning occurs when teachers use inferences about student progress to inform their teaching.
http://www.education.vic.gov.au/studentlearning/assessment/
Assessment for learning (formative)
definition
• Changing planned curriculum when an observation is made of a student’s unexpected level of current knowledge, skills and behaviours• Prior learning• Scaffolding a student’s learning after s/he demonstrates a misconception in a conversation, an essay or on a test• Sharing criteria so that students understand what they are being assessed against and can strive to achieve

“Formative assessment is most productive when students are trained in self-assessment so that they can understand the purposes of their learning and grasp what they need to do to achieve.”
Black, P & Wiliam, D (1988) Phi Delta Kappan. Bloomington: Oct 1998. Vol. 80, Iss. 2;SSN/ISBN:00317217t
Assessment as learning (formative)
research
Assessment as learning occurs when students reflect on and monitor their progress to inform their future learning goals.
http://www.education.vic.gov.au/studentlearning/assessment/
Assessment as learning (formative)
definition
Students: • self and peer-assessing• writing reflections• developing concept maps of previous and new learning• setting goals• discussing annotated work with their teachers
Assessment as learning in practice
Assessment as learning Reflection
•Take a couple of minutes to reflect on what you have learnt about assessment so far today, write it down
•Identify one thing you would like further clarification around or something you would like to learn more about
•How could you go about learning more?

“The overall message is that summative tests should become a positive part of the learning process. Through active involvement in the testing process, students can see that they can be the beneficiaries rather than the victims of testing, because tests can help them improve their learning.”
(Phi Delta Kappan. Bloomington: Sep 2004. Vol. 86, Iss. 1; pg. 9)
Assessment of learning (summative)
research
Assessment of learning occurs when teachers use evidence of student learning to make judgements on student achievement against goals and standards.
Assessment of learning (summative) definition
• Tests at the end of a unit• AIM, VCE state-wide exams• Benchmark reading text levels• Presentation, e.g. oral or project
